Question 1: If
\(\begin{array}{l}\sqrt[3]{y}\sqrt{x}=\sqrt[6]{(x+y)^{5}}\end{array} \)
, then dy/dx equal to:

a. x/y
b. x+y
c. x-y
d. y/x
Answer:(d)

\(\begin{array}{l}\sqrt[3]{y}\sqrt{x}=\sqrt[6]{(x+y)^{5}}\end{array} \)

Apply log on both sides

log (y1/3x1/2) = log(x+y)5/6

(1/3) log y+(1/2) log x = (5/6) log(x+y)

(1/3y)(dy/dx)+(1/2x) = (5/6(x+y))(1+dy/dx)

(1/3y)(dy/dx)- (5/6(x+y))dy/dx =(5/6(x+y)) -(1/2x)

(dy/dx)[(1/3y)-(5/6(x+y)] = 5x-3(x+y)/6x(x+y)

(dy/dx) = [(2x-3y)/6x(x+y)][6y(x+y)/(2x-3y)]

dy/dx = y/x

d. 4x+5y≤20, 3x+10y≤30, x≥6, x, y≥0.
Answer:(a)

(1) Since the region lies above the x-axis

So y ≥0

(2) Shaded region is on right side of the y-axis

So x ≥0

(3) Equation of line passing through (5,0) and (0, 4) is

(y-0) = (4/-5) (x-5)

-5y = 4x- 20

4x+5y = 20

(4) Equation of line passing through (10,0) and (0, 3) is

(y-0) = (-3/10) (x-10)

-10y = 3x-30

3x+10y = 30

(5) Shaded region is on left of x = 6.

So x ≤6

Consider the figure and observe the shaded region the inequalities can be written as

x ≥ 0,

y ≥ 0,

x ≤ 6

4x+5y ≥20,

3x+10y ≤ 30

The vector which is perpendicular to two vectors is given by the cross product of the two vectors.

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{P}\times \vec{Q}=(-2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+3\hat{k})\times (\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k})\end{array} \)

=

\(\begin{array}{l}-5\hat{i}+5\hat{j}-5\hat{k}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\left | \vec{P} \times \vec{Q}\right |=\sqrt{5^{2}+5^{2}+5^{2}}=5\sqrt{3}\end{array} \)

Unit vector perpendicular to P and Q is given by

\(\begin{array}{l}C=\frac{\vec{P}\times \vec{Q}}{\left | \vec{P}\times \vec{Q} \right |}\end{array} \)

=

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{-5\hat{i}+5\hat{j}-5\hat{k}}{5\sqrt{3}}\end{array} \)

Answer:(d)

Let I =

\(\begin{array}{l}\int \frac{2x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)(x-3)}dx\end{array} \)

Now,

(2x-1)/(x-1)(x+2)(x-3) = (A/(x-1) )+(B/(x+2))+(C/(x-3))

2x-1 = A(x+2)(x-3)+B(x-1)(x-3)+C(x -1)(x+2)

Putting x = 3, we get

6 -1 = C(3-1)(3+2)

C = ½

Putting x = 1, we get

2-1 = A(1+2)(1-3)

A = -1/6

Putting x = -2, we get

Question 34: The third term of a G.P. is 9. The product of its first five terms i

 

a. 35
b. 39
c. 310
d. 312
Answer:(c)

The third term of G.P. is 9

a.2 = 9

Now, the product of five terms = T1T2T3T4T5

= (a)(ar)(ar2)(ar3)(ar4)

= a5r10

= (ar2)5

= (9)5

= 310

 

Question 35: A line cuts off equal intercepts on the co-ordinate axes. The angle made by this line with the positive direction of X-axis is

 

a. 450
b. 900
c. 1200
d. 1350
Answer:(d)

We know that equation of a line in intercept form is

(x/a)+(y/b) = 1

Here, both intercept are equal

So (x/a)+(y/a) = 1

y = –x+a

Now comparing it with

y = mx + c

We get m = -1 = slope

We know that

Slope = tan θ

tan θ = -1

θ = 1350

Question 37: The area of the region above X-axis included between the parabola y2= x and the circle x2+y2 = 2x in square units is

 

a. (π/4)-(3/2)
b. (3/2)-( π/4)
c. (2/3)-( π/4)
d. (π/4)-(2/3)
Answer:(d)

y2 = x …(1)

x2+ y2 = 2x…(2)

(x-1)2 +(y-0)2 = 1

Equation (2) is a circle with centre (1, 0) and radius 1.

Solving eq.(1) and eq.(2)

(x-1)2 + x = 1

x2-x = 0

x(x-1) = 0

x = 0, 1

We get the points of intersection (0, 0) and (1, 1)

c. 2 log y = x2-1
d. 2 log x = y2+1
Answer:(c)

(dy/dx) = xy

(1/y)dy = x dx

Integrate

log y = (x2/2)+C ..(i)

Equation (i) passing through (1,2)

log(1) = (12/2)+C

C = -1/2

Put in (i)

log y = (x2/2)-(1/2)

2 log y = x2-1

a. 0 and π
b. π/2 and 2π
c. 0 and 2π
d. -π/2 and π/2
Answer:(b)

We know that 0 < cot-1x < π

⇒ π+0<2 (π/2)+ cot-1x < π+ π

⇒ π<2(tan-1x+cot-1x)+cot-1x<2π

⇒ π<2tan-1x+3cot-1x<2π ..(1)

compare equation (1) to a+ π/2 <2 tan-1x+3 cot-1x<b

a = π/2

b = 2π
